But, as The New York Times notes, Musk and DOGE only published on the department's website receipts for $58 billion in savings.

That's just shy of 3% of the $2 trillion he promised us last year

And the nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit that studies the federal government, recently calculated that DOGE's cuts will actually cost the federal government about $135 billion this year

Musk was taking a calculated risk with DOGE because the cuts eliminate legal liability he could avoid by dismantling parts of the government that oversee his many businesses.

Add it all up, and that could come to more than $2 billion in savings for Musk.

There it is. There's the efficiency. But it's not efficient for the American taxpayer. It's for Musk.

Elon failed miserably because he didn't know what the fuck he was doing. This is a repeating pattern. He's the same kind of stupid as Trump. They both think that if they have an opinion on a matter then they are experts.

Besides, only Congress can cut spending or the size of government.
